Hi all,
I have problems booting a 4.3 FreeBSD kernel directly with
grub 0.9 (basiccally, the kernel mounts the wrong device as root: wd0s2a
instead of ad0s2a).
Looking at the BUGS file in the grub 0.9 distribution, I see that this is
probably due to a command-line options problem.
I know that I can solve this problem using chain-load, but I'd like to fix
it by passing the command-line options in the correct way. Can anyone give
me a pointer to some documentation explaining how FreeBSD expects to find
those options, and how to properly build them?
If I will find the correct documentation, I'll be very happy to submit
some patches to grub to fix the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Luca
